As much as I didn't want to contribute to a media giant's pocketbook, I found it necessary to purchase the latest addition of a magazine so I could understand, opine, and discuss the latest controversial magazine cover.  You probably know the one I am talking about.... the one with the woman on the cover breast-feeding the toddler. The cover that is causing so much discussion and debate.  The one that is supposedly igniting the incendiary kindling of the parenting divides.

Join Mom of Many Hats Radio today as three moms and women share roundtable discussion about the controversial Time Magazine Article and what it means to be "Good Enough".  Join the conversation live, tweet along, or join in of facebood at http://www.facebook.com/pages/AZ-Mom-of-Many-Hats/100912886661732 .

Once we have children, the definition of who we are changes.  Our world and existence revolve around someone else in a way that we could never have imagined.  So what what do we do when our world suddenly changes and what defined us is gone?

Barry Adkins, author of Kevin's Last Walk joins Mom of Many Hats Radio to share what he did when his world suddenly changed - when he lost his 18 year old son to alcohol poisoning. In the midst of tragedy, Barry needed to find some purpose to what had happened. He shares his story from the "knock on the door" with the words no parent wants to hear, a 1400 mile walk from Arizona to Montana, to the seemingly impossible "something very good" in the loss of his son. 

Barry Adkins has shared his story with over 50,000 students and parents.  Through his loss, he has found a "good" in sharing in not only about the dangers of alcohol poisoning, but in the ability to carry on when life changes so drastically.  He motivates and inspires those who hear his story to appreciate each breath they are given.

Have you ever had to answer the question from your child "Why do you have to go to work?"  Have you ever struggled with just the right words to say? 

Many parents get up each morning knowing that they will spend the day away from their children because of work commitments.  For many it is a necessity that both parents work. For some it may be a choice.  In either case, there will be the inevitable question of "why?" from your little ones.  

Author and Mom Jennifer Pereyra joins Mom of Many Hats Radio to share her newest literary project, Mommy and Daddy Work to Make Some Dough! Jennifer addresses the questions that many kids have about why their parents must get up each morning and leave to go to work.  She has captured an everyday issue and often asked question in the unique format of a children's book, helping  kids understand the purpose of Mom and Dad heading of to their jobs.  She helps them to understand why that is important, how it helps the family, and that even though Mom and Dad have to go, they love their babies! 

Jennifer Pereyra  is Mom to two beautiful children as well as a being a Regional Account Manager to a major health care corporation and sitting on the Board of Directors for the New Jersey chapter or the American College of Healthcare Executives.  She is also a featured contributor to 30SecondMoms, a mobile ap that provides fun and helpful tips for moms on the go!

Do you remember the joy of play? Did you spend hours upon hours pretending to be a pirate or a princess? Did you make mud pie creations worthy of a four star restaurant? Did you pretend to be on a safari as you climbed the trees in your back yard?

In today's technological world, the pull of electronic play time is very strong.  From a young age, kids learn how to interact with technology.  Technology is a good thing, but it can often be a strong pull away from outdoor and creative  play. 

Shannon Guernsey joins Mom of Many Hats Radio to share her site, Planet Fassa! 

Planet Fassa is an interactive site that encourages creativity, imagination and outdoor play.  Through a series of online books, kids will learn technology skills, but also be encouraged to bond with the characters, hone their reading skills, and get out into the world and play! At Planet Fassa, families will find 6 interactive books with a great cast of characters, and prompts for hours of activities, as well as a points system to encourage kids to participate in imaginative, creative, and offline play.

Shannon Guernsey has a heart for helping children see the greatness, the creativity, and the imagination that is hidden inside of them.  Her goal is to help them reach their A-Ha moment as they unlock the limitless bounds of their imaginations.  Under the pen name S. Mooo, Shannon has written 6 interactive online books for kids to explore the vastness of their own potential to create limitless stories and  fun in their free play.

Do you sometimes feel like you are about to drop your hats?  Does the constant need to switch from role to role have you stressed out?

Join Mom of Many Hats Radio as THE Mom of Many Hats shares her tips to balance and juggle all of her hats that just may help you balance and juggle yours too!

We'll talk about these strategies and mindsets that the Mom of Many Hats uses.

• Embrace that you DO have the ability to juggle, multi-task and balance the things that you NEED to balance.  That ability is PRICELESS! 
• Never focus on perfect results, instead, give perfect effort.
• Prioritize.
• Step back, take a look at what you do, and give yourself a big pat on the back. You work very hard! 
• Don't sweat the small stuff and pray about the big stuff.
• Let things go - don't hold grudges.
• Accept that your hats are going to lean, sit crooked, and even fall off sometimes.  That's OK. The point is to pick them up and put then back on your head.
• Don't be concerned about how others think your hats look.  Wear them proudly and confidently. 

Are you constantly doing for others? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, but still spend what little energy you have on others? Do you feel  guilty saying no and taking time for yourself?

As moms, and as women, we often give and give until we have nothing left to give.  It is so easy for us to get into the cycle of pouring out of the pitcher, but not taking the time to fill it up.  We love our children and want to do for them, exist for them, and give them our all.  But at the end of the day, if we try to pour from an empty pitcher, everyone ends up thirsty.

Inspirational author, Michelle Sedas joins Mom of Many Hats Radio today, to talk about living inspired.  She will share her path and thoughts that resulted in her beautiful book Live Inspired.  We will discuss how you can stretch your mind, gladden your heart, and nourish your soul. Taking the time to feed our own spirits makes us better able to feed the spirits of those we love.

Michelle Sedas is the author of Welcome The Rain, Live Inspired, and the coauthor ofThe Power of 10%. She is the cofounder of Running Moms Rock and the host of theInspired Living Cafe.  She randomly writes a blog, fittingly titled: What's Running Through My Mind... random musings by Michelle Sedas

Breast Cancer Isn’t Always a Lump!

Are you aware of the symptoms of breast cancer?  Do you do a regular self breast examination? Are you aware of how a healthy breast should look?

As women we are made well aware that we should do regular self breast exams as part of our breast health routine.  We are trained to understand how they feel, and how to feel for lumps.  But do we often pay attention to how they look? The reality is that breast cancer is not always a lump!

Our guest Terry Lynn Arnold of the The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network will share her breast cancer story with a cancer that many women have never heard of – IBC – Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  She will share what she has gone through in her journey, what her treatment was like, and resources that she has found and created to help spread understanding the disease, and an urgency for exploration of treatment that can hopefully erase IBC. 

Terry has shared her story in various media outlets and print publications, cancerblogs, newspapers and MD Anderson’s Cancerwise.

Do you love to travel?  Do you love to travel with your kids?

Fit in 2012! 

With the new year, many people make fitness goals.  Did you? 

Fitness goals are often so hard to keep.  When it comes to our fitness, it is an area that we often give up on.  It is an area that so full of choices, and we have to make the right ones, from our food, to our lifestyle, to our activity.  It gets tough sometimes, because we can’t cut out food, lifestyle, or activities.  None of them are out of sight and out of mind.  We just have to choose the healthy way. With so many options in front of us, how do we make the right choices? How do we choose to have a healthy meal instead of fast food? How do we decide to move our bodies instead of sitting on the couch? 

Fitness Coach Dana Neve joins us today to talk about that.  She’ll share her path to fitness, tips on how we can stay fit, and advice for those who are starting from square one with fitness.

 Dana is a New Orleans native living in the Twin Cities for the past eighteen years with her husband and two teenage daughters.  She is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, runner, fitness coach, motivator, speaker, fitness writer and avid spectator of her kids’ sports. Fitness has always been a part of her life, but it wasn’t until 2000 that she became passionate about it.  After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and having a negative reaction to the medication prescribed, she decided to control the symptoms with exercise and proper nutrition.  The results were life changing and it has become her mission to help others lead longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives through fitness and nutrition.  She coaches people around the country developing nutrition plans and recommending workout programs for her clients, while motivating and supporting them along the way.  

She is dedicated to helping people reach their health and fitness goals and would love to help you too. Find her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DanaNeve, follow her on Twitter http://tinyurl.com/3bsstuy and visit her website www.danafit4life.com

Do you have a child with ADD or ADHD?  Are you looking for ways to help your child focus?

Attention Deficits and Hyper Activity can be a challenge for parents as well as children.  Lack of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior can create stressors in the home, in school, and in social relationships.  When a child has difficulty organizing daily tasks and activities, playing quietly, or working patiently within a group, the experience and environment for the child may not be the  as beneficial as it could be.  It may also be a challenge for others in the group.

The New Year is upon us! 

Did you make resolutions? Were any of those resolutions regarding finances? 

The new year is a fresh start and a chance to take a fresh look at things in our lives.  One of the areas we should look at is our finances.  As the new calendar year starts, making assessments of financial heath and identifying changes can help start the year off on a good path.  Looking at household budgets, large purchases or savings goals, and retirement plans is a wise and responsible financial task that we should not shy away from. 

But looking at and assessing finances can be a difficult and daunting task.  We may see things we don’t want to see.  We may need to make changes that we don’t want to make.  Even if our financial health looks good, it is always prudent to revisit our financial plans and goals. Where ever the health of our finances stand, we should not be afraid to dig in, and not be afraid to ask the opinion of a financial professional.  

Jerry R. Citarella of Infinity Wealth Management, and author of The Truth Helps Series, joins Mom of Many Hats Radio to discuss how we can navigate our New Years Financial resolutions.  Jerry has 20 years experience in the financial services industry and has been a trainer and speaker on various fianancial topics. From what types of goals to set, to managing budgets and purchases, to where to start when your finances seem overwhelming, Jerry will offer advice and discussion on setting ourselves on the path to financial health.

In the holiday season, how do you give back to the world? How do you show your children what giving back is? Do you limit your giving to your family, or do you extend it beyond your biological or family circle?

Today on Mom of Many Hats Radio, we will be speaking to Amber Singleton Riviere, who is giving back to the world in a wonderful way. She is also showing that parenting and the nurturing instinct is not simply dependent on bilogicial connection, but on heart. 

As the founder of Fund the Farm, Amber Singleton Riviere wanted to find a way to have a greater impact on foster care within the U.S.  After deciding to adopt a child of her own, it didn't take long for her to decide it would be from foster care.  When she saw the number of kids who had been abused, abandoned, neglected, or for whatever reason ended up in foster care, she was at first overwhelmed and heartbroken.  Over time, though, she started to see that she had room for these kids or, rather, could make room, and so began the idea of Fund the Farm.

Join us as Amber talks about her dreams, goals and vision for Fund the Farm, and to find out how you can be a part of this amazing project.

Do you dread those tough conversations with your kids? What kinds of conversations are hard for you as a parent to have with your kids? What conversations are tough and uncomfortable for  your kids to hear?

Sometimes it's difficult to sit our kids down and have frank discussion about things they may encounter in life.  We feel self conscious, uncomfortable, and even maybe a bit embarrassed when we are faced with having the conversations with our kids about sex.  We may think that our kids would never have a need to know abou the dangers of alcohol and drugs.  We may think that our kids are on the right path and don't need a lot of direct conversation about things that happen in life and  the choices they will face - and of the consequences of both.  

Tamra Wade of PaperHopeBlog joins Mom of Many Hats Radio to talk about the discussions we must be having with our kids.  We'll talk topics, strategies, and the potential cost of not having these talks with our kids. Get in on the conversation with us as we support each other in being the best parents we can be!

How much do you spend each month on clothes for your little ones? 

As moms, one of our jobs is to make sure our children are clothed in attire appropriate for the seasons.  But, as fast as the little ones grow, we are constantly running out to the stores and spending a fortune on clothing that fits. It can make juggling our finance hat a bit challenging!

Patrick Knauer of Baby Clothes Network joins us this week to show us how we can save on the cost of clothing our little ones as well as repurposing the clothing they have grown out of.

How do you define creativity? We will be looking at wearing our creativity hat with Sarah Whitenhafer.

As moms, we engage in so many activities that are creative, but we don't always realize how valuable our creativity is.  Our creativity is an expression of ourselves.  It is also a lesson to our children about how to express who they are through creating something outside of themselves. 

Creativity comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes.  It could be music, art, dance - anything that allows an outlet of expression that is different that the common spoken word.  Sarah will  share her creative journey with the written word as she takes us through the process of writing her novel, Tamed .  We will be talking about what creativity is, what impact it as on us as moms. and the impact it has on our families.

We need to don our healthy hat to keep ourselves the best that we can be.  It isn't always easy, and is sometinmes hard to find the motivation to get out there and moce our bodies. Really.... shouldn't household work and running after the kids be enough to keep us fit?

Join us this week as Erika and Michelle of Running Moms Rock talk to us about the benefits to us, and to our families by staying healthy and happy through running.  They'll motivate and encourage us to lace up those shoes, fill those water bottles, and hit the road to runs some miles!
